Twitter user Bartosz (@Bar_tooosh) got more than he was bargaining for when he put up a "for sale" ad for his 2003 Renault Kangoo van on Facebook marketplace.

The Dalkeith, Midlothian resident received an enquiry from someone called "Steven", also based in Dalkeith, who opted to leave long, rambling, pause-filled voice notes on Bartossz's phone instead of simply sending text messages.

Bartosz uploaded the hilarious messages to Twitter on 6 September, and the video of the conversation has since had over 200,000 views.

The full, confusing message thread goes as follows:

"Hi erm....I'm....erm...just wondering how much MOT's on it...er...and I wonder...er...(long pause)"

"Hi...er....my finger slipped off the button. Er...I wonder how much MOT's on it and, errr, is it in....er....not bad nick as well.

"And I'm wondering if...er...I stay in Mayfield...Mayfield...Dalkeith...er...I'm just wondering if I can come and see it. Er...I'm thinking about buying a van...so...er...I'm just wondering if I can come and see it. Erm...OK...right bye."(another pause)

"Ok erm...I'll get back to you tomorrow. I'll get back to you tomorrow. Cheers...right bye."

Twitter users reacted with hilarity to the weirdly long and repetitive messages:

While others could actually relate to Steven's difficulty leaving a message:

One thing's for sure, though: this is pretty typical of selling anything on Facebook. It's a very strange place, and you're always guaranteed to have odd characters getting in touch. Especially if you stay in Dalkeith.
